One of my favorites from 76
This show has some of my favorite versions of songs ever played. I guess everyone has different taste within the different years, but this show is amazingly
...
emotional and tight as hell. The first dancin from the soundtrack has to be my all time favorite. I dig the slower tempo and they really get into the weeds during the jam. Sugaree isn't crazy in terms of off the wall soloing but it's played with an emotion that others aren't. Candyman is just exceptional. Then help>slip>franklins my God. They never played that string of songs like this. Its perfection in my eyes. So much to unpack with the dead its unreal

The Sound Check
I listened to the concert and then came back for the soundcheck. A very different feel to the souncheck. For example Dancin runs 10 minutes during the
...
show they stretch it to 12 minutes here. I think I have rated some of the studio sessions but i am not sure it is fair to rate a soundcheck. Be that as it may this soundcheck sets the tone for this show and to me this is a masterpiece of a show. The Other thing here is they mix in tunes here they don't even use during the show! Also they don't even soundcheck MINGLEWOOD which they play in the 1st set after a 15 year hiatus. (Weir must have some Big balls) I detect a little Island Reggae in Keith's TLEO or maybe Just Professor Longhair. They are going to bust out 1/2 Step and The Other One during this run but they don't tip their hand. i love this band. The Stella Blue's before they actually do a soundcheck of Stella Blue is the band at work. Really folks think good music is what they see live but so much of what makes for good music is working a song out and learning the in's and out's of a tune. Give the Dead credit so often they did that all on the fly-live. But this shows you the craft of perfecting a tune. Plus Stella was not a new tune at this point but they are re-working it according to their sound during this time period. (I really think more than anything that is why certain tunes just came and went from their repertoire.) And with that in mind think about those tunes they managed to play year after year and still find new ground to explore and keep a tune alive and kickin. p.s. Thanks PINGA for the smackdown on DJG hater, If I was still a King bee I'd name a child after you bro.

mellow show
This show seems to be as good as other '76 performances, but the music seems a little subdued. There were no balls-out-rockers, but they still seemed to
...
be "ON" for each song. Supplication is good, as is Slipnot, with Wharf Rat giving that extra special "something" to the show as a whole.

Lotta music here
Last part is first with a killer eyes and some hot jams which I guess were warm ups and sound test but have superior sound. The show itself is solid but
...
pretty standard fare for '76.

Good stuff
Not extraordinary but the second set is worth checking out, especially if you like '76 in general.
